Benefits of technology

[0018]The filling device preferably includes a flexible product supplying means which is provided between the storage hopper and the filling station. Consequently, it is possible to supply a product to the moving filling station in an optimum manner. For better cleaning and in order to prevent influences on the properties of the product, it is advantageous for the supplying means to be produced from steel and to be developed in a pivotable manner. Flexible seals are provided in each case between the storage hopper or the filling station and the pivotable product supplying means.

Problems solved by technology

This is why longer capsule filling times are frequently produced, which restricts a production capacity of a filling machine.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]A device 20 for introducing powdery filling material 21 according to a first preferred exemplary embodiment is described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0030]FIG. 1 shows an overall view of the device 20 which includes a station wheel 40 having a total of twelve stations 1 to 12. A total of twelve capsule holders 30 are arranged along the circumference of the station wheel 40, each capsule holder 30 having a plurality of accommodating means 31, 32 for accommodating capsules 22. The accommodating means 31, 32, in this case, are arranged in two rows, namely a first row R1 and a second row R2, parallel to each other in each capsule holder 30. A direction of rotation of the station wheel 40 is marked by the arrow A.

[0031]The stations of the station wheel 40, in this case, are as follows. Empty, closed capsules, which include a capsule bottom part 23 and a capsule top part 24, are supplied from a hopper to the station 1. The capsules, in this case, are inserted indi...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for introducing filling material (21) into capsules (22), comprising a filling device (25) for feeding filling material (21) to the capsules (22), a capsule holder (30) with at least one row of seats (31) in which the capsules (22) that are to be filled are arranged, a station arrangement with several stations arranged one after another, wherein the station arrangement comprises at least one filling station (5) and a synchronously operating drive, and a movement device which, at the capsule-filling station (5), executes a relative movement between the filling device (25) and the capsule holder (30), wherein the filling device (25) adopts, relative to the capsule holder (30), at least a first filling position for filling a first capsule and a second filling position for filling a second capsule.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a device for introducing filling material, in particular powdery filling material, into capsules.[0002]Capsules, e.g. from gelatin, which are produced from substantially cylindrical hollow forms with hemispherical end regions, are used frequently, in particular for medicines. One half of the capsules is filled with a filling material, in particular a medicine, and then the other half of the capsule is placed thereon in order to obtain a closed capsule. In this connection, the filling of the capsule is effected in filling machines which have to ensure a high level of precision when introducing the respective quantities in order to prevent faulty dosings of a medicine. This is why longer capsule filling times are frequently produced, which restricts a production capacity of a filling machine. DE 199 15 259 A1 makes known, for example, a device for dosing and introducing powdery filling material into containers where two...
